sly been moving, was ordered to return to camp. I was returning, when a heavy fire of artillery and small arms on the left showed that attack had been made on Malvern hill, and it was clear that our forces were being driven back. Orders were given to me to move in quickly to the support of our forces engaged, and I did so at a decting my brigade, I returned to my camp of the morning. Thus ended the actual fighting of this memorable week — the enemy having, during the night, evacuated Malvern hill. During the whole of it, officers and men alike had been without cooking utensils or their baggage. My loss was about seven hundred and fifty in killed and we, both of them young men of brilliant prospects, and as gallant, as daring, as devoted to the cause as any officers in the Confederate servive. Tuesday, at Malvern hill, we were marched to the field, but were held in reserve, and had no opportunity to deliver a fire. Three of my men, however, were killed by fragments of shell

leaded the Scriptural excuse of having married a wife and could not go. Nevertheless we marched, and there was many a tearful leave-taking — for from the cordial reception given us by the noble women of Norfolk had grown many sincere friendships, and I recall no other occasion of the war which so much resembled the home-partings as the day our regiment left the city. To many of us our sojourn there was the oasis in the social desert of the war. Next, to Seven Pines, the Seven Days to Malvern Hill, and Mahone's bandbox brigade (as the veterans of Manassas jocularly taunted us) were part and parcel of the Army of Northern Virginia, under the direction of the great leader of war and his lieutenant, whose dash always won the hearts of his men. But I will at once pass over the three years which followed — years of hard marches, hard-tack, short fare and short wear, victories and reverses — to the 9th of April at Appomattox — years pregnant with the unfinished history of a people wh

y, wounded. In this battle I have no complaint to make of any officer or man in their advance upon the enemy; and I beg leave especially to commend the conduct, not only of the officers whom I have just named, but also of Captain J. G. Harris, Company H, and Lieutenant A. A. Pool, commanding Company K. This night my regiment spent on the field, and on Tuesday evening, about seven o'clock, while we were under marching orders, and actually on the march, we were ordered in the direction of Malvern Hill. We advanced under a heavy fire, artillery and musketry, but the darkness came upon us so rapidly that we were not actively engaged that night. We were then continued in the pursuit of the enemy until the 9th instant, when we were ordered to our present camp four miles from Richmond. During this contest we have lost six officers killed or mortally wounded, and sixteen wounded, twenty-nine men killed on the field, and two hundred and two wounded. The number actually carried into actio
